I am using DWCS3 and ADDT toolbox extension wamp and phpmyadmin
I am trying to create a site for people to be able to post a profile with a picture and info and display it in a dynamic table.
I can create the form, a database and display the data on another page in a dynamic table all ok..... kind of.

I can create a user registration system with ADDT.
I can redirect them after registration to a post profile page, which has a form to upload details. I can then display those details on a user info page.
I would like to allow logged in users to be able to click on a link to their own profile page , which would show the same form that was filled out in the post profile page, but would be already populated with their previously entered information. I would like users to be able to edit the content of the form and update the information in the database and automatically delete delete any previously entered information ( only in the fields that have been edited)
How do I go about doing this?.... step by step?

I want to allow logged in user to view their own profile not every bodies.... how do I do that?
I have read on another post that to do something similar to this I should filter my database information using a session varialble MM_username that I think is created automatically after user logs in .... but I don;t know how to do this.... I really don;t understand is this the way I link my user to a page that only displays their info ? or is there another way?

I would also like to allow only people who have posted a profile to be able to edit profile ...... do I do that by
1. new user registers and is redirected to login page
2. user logs in and is redirected to an index page that has a post profile button and a edit profile button but only the POST button is active ( and links to a form to post info ) and the edit profile button is linked to a " You must post a profile first" page ( with a link back)
3 so user posts profile and is directed to an index page which has an edit profile button which is now linked to an edit profile page

Hi Gunter, I am really impressed by all your post, I am having this same problem an have just tried what U wrote but it did not work for me.
I have created the users page which submits to a members page and tell the user to edit biodata, profession, and hobbies. but on clicking I am really confused on how the id will be transfered from the members page to update biodata and the user updates the form which will show past records. this should also apply to the profession and hobbies.

after many trials and error now whenever I create form it gives me the error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: var_export() in c:\apache\htdocs\digi\includes\tng\tNG_dispatcher.class.php on line 330

Lastly is it possible I create recordset at will and the id will be passed thru since kt-login-id behaves sololy.
Thanks for your usual prompt respond charis thanks for your question too.

If I understand this right, you might want to consider providing a complete "userdata" section which comes with a Dynamic List and a Dynamic Form to have users add & update their data plus (via the Dynamic List) track all past records

I really can´t recommend this "pass user_id as URL variable" approach in this case, as URL variables are displayed in the browser´s address bar -- and this is absolutely insecure, because anyone could simply change the displayed "user_id" value, reload the form and hence edit data which belongs to a different user.

The only secure method is indeed to use ADDT´s session variable kt_login_id

Thanks a lot Gunter Schenk
I got some help from this.
I created the register (though the register.php still gives that error on submit)and login info as before.
I also created the members.php page. In dynamic list I made nested region but all the data on mysql was what I got. Can U let me know what dynamic property to create the dynamic list so the members page will have the users data as dynamic text and will also be able to link to the update page and also have his own information alone diplayed in the database.
Thanks

Hey Gunter,
I have successfully worked around the site now thanks.
The above error came because of the recordset I had to set while making my dynamic list.
Now The login page was able to submit to the membership page when I used it.
I eventually did not use the dynamic list, I linked directly to the update page.
Since the pages are passed via the kt_login_id session variables
Thanks a lot
Yomi
